NEW MF, E Captain DEANS DUNDAS, the new Member for Devizes, - was i),trodured by Mr. ANGERSTETN, and took the oaths and his seat. The Hon. and Gallant Member was loudly cheered oa corning to the table. BRIGHTON RAILWAY. Lord GEORGE LF,NNO X brought up the Report of -the Standing Orders Committee on the London and Brighton Railway Bill. They reported that, the Standing Orders had been complied with. PRINTING OF BILLS AND FI7RI•IISIIING COPIES. Mr. BERNAL, after presenting several petitions for private Bills,l'said that he understood' great complaints had been made in consequence of a resolution come to by the Co mmittee . ap pointed on the motion of the Hon. Member for Middlesex, by which only a certain number of every Bill was to be printed, and Members were only entitled to one copy each ; no matter whatev.x might be the subject of the 13i'd, the resolution was imperative, and no Member could have more than one copy. Those Members who might be desirous, for the sake of their constituents, to furnish them with a Bill in which they knew them to be very ranch interested, would have to purchase every individual copy, and to send it a considerable distance. These were the circumstances of the ease, and they did not want any comment.—( Hear, hear.) lie thought it advisable that some notice should be taken of the subject, and that something should, be done to remedy the inconvenience, which, he was sure. neither the Hon. Member for Middlesex, nor the nth- - Mr.nbers of the Committe e cou ld have anticipates.—.(, Sir E. KNATCHBUL 1, entirely agreed wit. ): , what had fallen from the Hon. Member, who had very 'properly intro duced this subject to th e no ti ce o f t h e Ile;,se. The SPEAKER had stated, the other day, that when he had the honour to be chosen t j fill the situation he did, he had hoped that a Committer: would be appointed to assist him in these matters; and. * indeed, he thought he was only acting respectfully towar".,s the House in waiting for the as sistance of such Con , ,nittee. He had, consequently, during the last Session, al - stained from making any order respecting the printing and_ distributing of bills. The only step which be had taken was to have the papers sold at the cheapest rate possible.—l So we understood the Right Hon. Gentleman, who was -:cry inaudible.) Mr. BARING said that undoubtedly there was some diffi culty in the case. Formerly certain offices ,had a certain quantity of copies of all papers, on which they made a profit, and it was by this means that the public obtained these papers. This had been cut away during the last session, and at pre sent the public had r.o power to obtain these papers. It was recommended, last Session, that these papers should he sold, in conseqw:nce of which the Speaker had given directions that they sbduld be sold at a very kw rate—indeed at an extremely low rate. The House must understand this, tba:.; either there must be a sale of these papers, or, to a certai".l degree, they must allow Members as many copies as the , ; liked. They must decide between these two points. His orfn impression was, that if the papers were sold at an ex tremely low rate, it would be a very fair means of furnishing the public. Mr. E WART could not acquiesce in the opinion of the Hon. Gentl"man. He did not think that in all instances persons ought to be put to the expense of purchasing these papers.—( Hear, hear.) He knew two cases its which applica tion was made to him for papers—one was from a Society of schoolmasters and teachers, who were desirous of possessing all Parliamentary papers relating to colt:cation. He thought that if any literary society, who could not afford to pay for such papers applied for them, they ought to get them without expense. In the case of Bills, the papers should be had, because other wise their constituents would not have an opportunity of know ing what was doing in that House. Mr. SHAW felt the inconver.ience of the rule as it at pre sent stood ; and, but for the kindness of the Speaker, he should be (yesterday) much at a loss for certain papers, which he required. He submitterl that there should be a great faci lity to the public in g.:Ating Parliamentary papers, and the subordinate officers of the House should not have the power of selling •:nem. No Member, he thourrht, would ob ject to give in s•tch a case a discretion to the Speaker of letting Members have the documents they wanted. Mr. HUME was not in the House when the dis- 1 cussion r - Jmmenced ; but from what had fallen from his 11c,n. Friend yesterday, he supposed there \vas so',ne complaint of the difficulty in obtaining Parlia mentary papers. He was a member of the • Commit tee, and he could state that in the Report, all Bills and papers connected with the Session were exempted from the rule. The objection was to papers connected with past &ssions. There svere constant applications to the Speaker, and he knew Hon. Members would be willing to purchase them, rathrt than trouble the Speaker frequently about such. matters. There were then no less than two million V.vo hundred thousand papers in their storehouses, which ` no did not doubt, would be anxi ously bought by the pr.:Ale. It should be known that there wet,. offices for the sale of these papers in London at the 10.,v rate of a halli:enny and a penny a sheet, which was 'the actual cost to the Government. Mr. Hansard had an office, Mr. knight had another, and he understood a third Was about to be opened within one minute's walk of that House. If the resolution left any thing doubtful regarding papers of the present Session, ha believed the Committee 'could be called together, and the doubt cleared up. And whenever public institutions, or those of a literary nature, re quired documents, he was sure there ought to be every facility afforded them in procuring them. Sir ROBERT INGLIS read the resolution of the Com mittee on this subject. The SPEAKER said ho felt himself awkwardly situated, and the question seemed to be whether in the matter he had an option or not ; but as long as he could, consistently with dnty, do so, he would give every facility to Members in communicating with their constituents on the business of that House. He wished some settled rule were laid down for him on the subject. Mr. BERNAL thought it unnecessary to give notice of a motion on the subject, as the Committee were to meet to morrow. Mr. HUME said as soon as Mr. Speaker called the Com mittee together, the matter would be settled. Mr. COLLIER presented two petitions from Devonport on the subject of Dissenters grivances and Mr. Buckingham's SUMMARY CONVICTIOT,:S. Captain BEECHER moved for a re'turn of the number of persons committed to prison on sumvaary convictions, by nue or more Justices in England and *Wales, for the year endinz Michaelmas, 1835. Mr. ROEBUCK sugge'Acd that the offence.; for which / they were committed shr,uld also be specified in the return moved for by the Hon. 3lember. Mr. WAKLEY thought it would be advisable also to pub lish the evidence on which they were convicted. Sir E. KNATCHBULL thought a summ2:7 wou'd be stir fic;Jnt. AGRICULTURAL. ASSOCIATION. Mr. BENNETT presented a petition frOr t the Central Agricultural Association of England and 1-, lan d. The As sociation had been established for the 'protection of Agricul tural interests, and to represent their 7 grievanecs to Parliament. That was the sole okject of the so.aety. They prayed for a full and fair inves'.4.,ration into thr: causes of the distress which affected the agriculturists, ar't he trusted the House would take the prayer of the petit;.dners into its consideration. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS. Mr. BLACKJU►INE gave notice that on Monday next be should move for appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the circumstances connected with the election of Councillors ander the new Municipal Bill for the borough of Poole, as we understood the lion. Member. MR. BUCKINGIIAM'SCLXIMS. Mr. AGLIONR IT presented a petition from Cockcrmouth in faer.ur of Mr. Buckingham's claims to compensation. THE DISSENTERS. Dr. LUSHINGTON presented a pet:don from the eq,,z lies of the several congregations of Protet,tent Dissenters re siding within twelve miles of London. The petition was worthy the attention of the Hor.:,e, not merely from the worth, intelligence, and respectabi!;ty of the individual:, who had I,:gned it, but also because they represented the feelings and opinion s of 500,000 individuals. They prayed for a removal of the grievances of whi J h they had so many years. complained. I - ha agreed entirely opinion with the petitioners, that the titre had arrived y Con these grievances should be entirely re moved, and that it should be no longer endured that persons should suffer tne sli . , ;hest degree of disability front their gious opinic..ns. Ho entertained no doubt that the present Session .vould not be allowed to close without efforts being made by his Majesty's Government to introduce measures to , carry int-, effect the wishes of that large and independent body. Mr. WILKES said the Hon. and Learned Member had naturally stated that the petition embodied the wishes of ''oo cer.gregations ; but the petition embraced a subject of cern- Iptaint, which now appeared for the first time, relative to the 'declaration required to he made tinder the new Municipal Bill. He had already referred to the declarations required under the Reform Bill, and in consequence of that declaration, a con siderable number of Dissenters had felt themselves bound to exclude themselves from the Council. He would not at pre sent occupy the attention of the House. on this subject ; but unless the objections or the declarations were amended, he should feel it necessary to bring a specific motion before the House on the subject. _ CARLOW ELECTION. Mr. HARDY, and several Members rose together—the latter gentlemen gave way, and th e Hon. Memb er f or Brad ford said he rose to ask leave to bring . forward a ea se t o 't h e i attention of the House, which nvolved, as it appeared t o hi m, points of the greatest importance—points which, m his opinion, entitled it, to the preference of the notices of motion before the House. He adopted the present course, because it involved an attack upon a Member of that kloue, accusing him of trafficki ng w i t h seats i n t h at H ouse, an d w h ich if proved would certainly involve that Hots. and Learned Member in considerable difficulty.—( Cheers.) All that he at present asked from the House ;vas that he might have leave to bring it forward before any of the other subjects that stood for deliberation. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he was only anxious upon the present occasion that the House should adopt that course which was most convenient, and in order to show the Hon. Gen tleman no other wish, he would tell him that it was his intention to postpone those motions of which he had given notice till to morrow. The Hon. Member would therefore understand that iu bringin g f orwar d h i s he had no wish whatever t o stop motion ; but, at the same time, he could not but exnects his opinion that the petition— Mr. H UNlE—There is no petitim Lord JOHN RUSSELL understood the, Pon. '6 . 'etitletnen that there was a petitiott,—( Hear, 'from Mr. Reidy.) If the netition were presented, and he gave up his motions . fur 'the s ake ,of it, be must he understood that lie did so in order that so important a subject should be brought before: the nouse. Mr. HUME apprehended that, consisteot with the usages of the House, if the House rare called upon to prenoutie.e its opinion upon any eulleet that should be brought 'fek - 'n - te'el, a petition ought to have been presented. Ile theeePore sub mitted to the Hon. Member whether It would not serve hi s own cause by giving notice of his intention to present his peti tion at an early day. Mr. W YNN E apprehended that nothing could be 'so elear ee . .hat, when a Member stated that he had a breach of privileeee - to brieg forward, the House would bear him without any notice whatever, even is the midst of another diseussien,e4Cheers.) It was esetential that an immediate remedy should be applied, but ellen the Hou se was i n possess i on of the coMplaine, it was then competent for them to de.al %Oh it as limy thought proper—( Hear, hear)—either to deride tAnbn it immediately, or adjourn the consideration of I .': to some future moment. But, until -they had kneel the mattee of the complaint, they could come to Ti p cetttqWkOn 's and having heard it, they oaai-ai either roan, it to a Committee, or to a Select one..

Colonel BR - GEN ssl he did not inter:et to :testnepass et any leeeds upon the attention .of the llouse while presenting the petition with wltiels he was entrusted. H should mea.-:,y read an abstratt from it which he held in Mt hand. !_t• swed that from various letters and etattrnents which " - ad gone before the public, the petitinners had heard that a certain agreement or treaty had been entered info between Daniel O'Connell and Alexander Raphael, by which the said Daniel O'Connell covenanted and agreed to procere the return of the said Alexander Raphael for the County of Carlow, in consideration of two sums of 1.000/. each ; that that agreement was represented at 4 safe speculation and carried ireo effect by both parties ; that the first sum of 1,000/. was so paid, and that previous to the election for Carlow, a certain paper or address signed " Daniel O'Connell" was put into circulation in the 'Culotte recommending to the electors the said Alexander Raphael, who was hitherto a perfect stranger; that after the tieetion, the second sum of 1,0001. was so paid as agreed upon to Joists O'Connell, acting under and by the desire of his father; lnat a petition had been presented eomplaio.'.ng of the return; and that previous to the ballot fora Qbintnittee the said second sum of 1,0001. was paid tee aro. received by, said John O'Connell; that after such receieit, said Daniel O'Connell, and John O'Con nell, attent?ed the striking of the ballot, and Mr. O'Connell havio answered to his name, was suffered to remain on the Committee, and was sworn at the table well and truly to try the merits of the petition according to the evidence. The petitioners submitted that such =idea was its %gelation of their rights as electors, and of the privileisea d that House. Having now discharged his ditty to his tonstitueuts, he shoitid abstain from making any remaßta, being sure that none Were necessary in a case chasatettrised by such nwiestrous proceed ing -t—( Hear, hear, tom the Oppositiots)—hut would leave the matter altoerether in the hands of the House. The retition was then mad by the Clerk. Mr. HARDY then rose to present the Petition be had been entrusted with, but was interrupted by Mr. O'CONNELL, who said—Sir, I interfere between the two petitions. The reason of my interfering will at once be obvious to the House. In the first place, I hope there is not a single man in the House who differs from me in opinion that there arc grounds of inquiry, and gr o u n d s f or a C omm i ttee) laid in th a t petition.—(Hear, hear.) It is my Opitiiotl there are.—(Hear, hear,) I have always voted For an inquiry, if there have been Parliamentary groUnds stated for that in quiry, whether the case has been my own, or that of any body else ; and when grestuds arc stated, I always will vote fur an inquiry.—( Lend cheers.) On the present occasion, as far .as 1 am concerned myself, I shall not complain of the unusual I will not call it a monstrous proceed ing—(Cries of " Hear, hear ")—but the unusual proceeding that such a petition should be in the hands of any Member without giving a copy of it, or an intimation of its contents. For myself I scorn to complain, but I appeal to every man of good feeling—l . appeal to every father in this Ilonsewhether it was right to introduce the name of Mr. John O'Connell ?-ee (Cries' of " Yes.") I don't say introducing hid hate, but without giving him notice ?—(llear.) Rest could the Hon.

The cries of " Order" from the Opposition were so loud that Mr. O'Connell was compelled to sit down.

I admit that I have been tarried away ; but I do not think that in appealing- ott his behalf to the House, for whom alone I appeal, that any man would bona demn me of any great error in being a little more Vieteht than I should be on any other subject.—(Chexe-a) but I will go on It is on behalf of the Member for 17:0ughall thus assailed, that 1 I appeal: Its the first places, 'was it not perfectly well known that I addressed the elettas of Carlow on behalf of Raphael and Vigors ? Was it not perfeCtly well known to the peti-• titioners when they choose to have on the Committee John O'Connell— ::id they not know with the fullest knowledge that I was 4 strong partizan of Vigors and Raphael?--(Loud cheers.)

With. reapeet to hid einii'l,re against him of having depopulated sillagtS, he could only say that it was just as true as the viierality of his accusations.—( Loud cheers from the Tory Benches.) With respect le his character as a -landlord lie was happy •t o s a y he was not ashamed to tontpaet it with that of the Honourable and Learned Member for Dublin, or with any other landlord its that Molise.—(Hear.)

(Allot side—that it ettiatinted froth his (Mr. Roebuck's) supporters. He repudiated such afl aisertion—le came from those who, tinder• the guise of liberality, and assuming the name of a Liberal Association ; had propagated the most deadly Tory princisks, well know ins that if th e y a d o pt e d a name more suite to the object of this Astotiation they would utterly fail of stkeent. They Wert the same body wh o , we ll knowing him to be 100 miles distant, had etdeavottred to do him a great injury, and they ivel these who had acutually canva ssed the Members of that House, on a matter ()lardy private, under the name of a liberal association, which every man in Bath well knew they were the most rabid Tories In the Kingdom,--( Cheers. ) They were the same persons tvhcetvrote to his Hon. Friend as had been stated by him, requesting his support, but when he saw the name at the foot of the letter, he thought it was a Tory one, though at the top it professed to come front a body of a different description,—( Hear, beer, beer.) But hta Honourable Priend had known the Changes which had taketi place in the political circles, and he seethed to bb ithaerait of the taet, that those who professed Radicalisitt to. day, Might be found on the next sitting on the 'l'dl'y benches—(Cheers)—or teat those who were Tories in one week might rapidiy come over to the ministerial side of the House. This was the truth as regarded this petition. There was one name attached t o th e petition which, by the writing, he very much believed to be a forgery. Ho would ascertain whether 'it was or not by the neat post—(hear, hear)—and he would pledge himself to state whether he was mistaken or not. But it do so happen that this very person, not three day@ ago, Wrote a letter to him „ (Mr. enclosing a settrrilout attack against himseit—(Aear, hear, hear)—on the part of that Association, disclaiming it wholly, and using very strong terms against that Association. —( Loud cheers.) He felt therefore bound to say, that he believed that name to be forgery ; and he knew that this petition emanated from the Tories of Baths.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL rose. I have but one word to say in answer to the Member for Bradford. That Hon. Mem ber, by way of excuse for not letting me have it copy of this petition, se e m s t o i ns i nua t e that he did it to spare my feelings..—(Hear, hear,) Well, now, this is the oddest way of sparing a man's feelings that I ever heard of.— (Loud cheers and laughter.) The Hon. Gentleman will not hurt me by showing me this petition in private, which at the moment he intended to shnw to the Whole British Empire. This it the tenderness of the butcher to the calf; he would not show hint the knife for the world—(tremend o u s cheering and great laughter) —as if some exceedingly good.natured friend would not be sure to furnish me with a copy. The Hon. Gentleman may he a good-natured friend of this sort, but I can assure tite House that I have nothing of' this petition from Bath except that the Member for Ipswich showed me a letter which contained no particulars, and the only part of which that related to this petition was this sentence— , c that ho who had been always an enemy to corruption ought not to allow any man to put money into' his own pocket by means of Parliamentary influence," Why the only answer that any man could give to this would be in the nezativo. But I ask the Hon. Member for Bradford what he Means to insinuate against the Member for Youghall, when he says that he acted under my directions ? (Tremen dous cheering from the Ministerial side.) This seems to have been said as an excute for the conduct of that . Gentleman I want to know—and I hope the Member for Youghall will take my advice--which, as far as I can make it strong, I would du so, all his life, command has been unnecessary. I hope he will take my advice, and leave this matter entirely bAween the Member for Bradford and myself. There is no part of his conduct for which I conceive any apology necessary. I deny that there is any apology necessary for my sou, lie was bound to attend here. Everybody knew that he wss my son. There must have been eleven persons more unfavour able than him to the petitioners, or they left bins on to parade him.—(Hear and cheers.) In either case what was there in his conduct that requires an apology. If no attack can be made upon him openly, let him not be covertly insinuated against. (Cheers.) I can tell the Hon, Member for Bradford that the character:of the Hon. Member for Youghal is stainless as the driven snow and ever will rte main so; and when I tell him that, I defy him to attach arty thing to that non. Member. I ask for a Committee, and let the charge be there stated—let there be no affectation of an apology for what requites none. I - laving. Rattle that inquiry, as I do net intend to speak again, I would suggest that both these petitions be printed, and placed in the hands of every Hon. Member.—(Hear,) This It b. e i tiestiori of privilege.— (Cheers.)

Lord WYNVOIM presented a petition ftom Lincoln shire, complaining of agricultural distress, and praying for enquiry into its causes. The Noble Lord gave notice, that on Tuesday next he would move for a Select.. ComMittee to enquire into the subject. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved for returns from the Court of Exchequer and the Court of Bankruptcy, similar to those he had moved for relative to the Court of Cliancery...-- Ordered: Lord WHARNCLIPPE moved for a return of the names of gentlemen returned to the Horne (Ace ; es being fitted for the office of magistrates by the Town Councils tinder the Mu nicipal Reform Bill. IRISH EDUCATION. • The Earl of RODEN had taken the very first opportunity of bringing forward' a question of the very greatest import ance connected with the welfare of Ireland, and he had thought it proper to do so In the form of a question to the Noble Mariids opposite. Last session he had moved for returns connected with education in Ireland ; all of which were promised but one, point ing out the religion of the children attending the schools tinder the new Board, Ile thought there must be some reason for the refusal of that which was the most intiportant of all he had asked for, arid none could be more easy. One of the questions he would put would be relative to that paper. He had the Report of the Commissioners hi his hand, and on it he had a few words to say before putting his qattas.ions. He felt himself bound to deny many of the facts stated to the House by the Commissioners. It was his duty and privilege to live in Ireland, and he trusted he lived with reasonable mcrf, and he had not found one who thought that this systsm was one at all consistent with the feelings of the Protestants of Ireland. With all due respect to the Commissioners, he must differ with the, statements of the Report.—( Hear.) The Report then went on to recommend the system of education, and recommended an expenditure for it; but he was afraid that many of their Lordships were tithiquainted with the system, and he was afraid that the country generally knew nothing of it. They recommended an expenditure of 200,0001. in nine years, in favour of a cause which he thought would lead to much mischief and misery. He thought the cause one of vast importance, and had taken the first oppor tunity of getting the opinion of the Government upon the subject, and to enter his protest against the Report and the system generally. He disclaimed bringing forward the ques tion from political or party views—he had opposed it from the first, for he thought then as he did now; it would prove a curse to the country by producing a famine of the word of God in the land, which was the greatest curse that could be possibly in flicted on any country. He had always read in history that when Protestantism was strong in this country, it was strong at home and respected abroad; but that when Protestantism was sacrificed to political expediency she was despised.—(Hear, hear.) He would warn the Noble Lords opposite of the course they were pursuing towards Ireland. He hoped the people of England and of Scotland would show, by petitions to that House, that they were not of those reasonable men who had chanEed a - their opinions as mentioned in the Report. —( Hear.) He wished to ask the Noble Marquis, whether he would be kind enough to lay on the table the relative num ber of Protestant and Catholic children attending the new schools, and whether the Government intended to act aspen the Report, and disburse the sums of money recommended in the Report of the Committee. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, after acknowledging the personal compliments paid him by the Noble Earl, said he was sorry that it was not in his power, or in the power of the Go vernment, to grant him his first request. The Commissioners appointed under the Bill thought that they could not make such a rctarn as was then asked fore They consider that by so doing they . would exceed their functions ! . and if they were to inquire who were Protestants and who Catho lics, they would have kept up the old enmity between the two religions, which it waS intended to do away with certain tr th u e re e t tia t ny si of v tph in i la fie c . h4 ' d r ei ie children nw teachers lulelind etrhteh their Protestant f o a te l ehsat ra n gn o the ett eThere clergyman hyemrn religious wbearde the right—and he, wished that they oftener exercised it—of giving religious instruction to those of the children attending the Schools belonging t o th e congregati o n, anti on other days the' Catholic Priest had the same liberty with those belonging to their faith ; but the Master, acting under the Commissioners, had no power to make any inquiry upon the subject. If the Noble E ar l wante d suc h a R e t urn f or th e purp ose o f found ing an argument upon it, there was no necessity for them.__( Hear, hear, hear.) The Noble Earl had a right to use that argument, forit was perfectly well known that there were many more Catholic children attending these schools than Protestant, and it must be so, for the proportions of the one to the other Was enormous, and the plan was intended for the be nefit of all.—(heat/ hear.) But if the Noble Earl would look at the Report to which he hag alluded, he would find that from the Protestant province of Ulster there were applications for schools under the new plan, signed by 260 Pre!estant clergymen of that provinci—surely they would not have made such ap plications if they had not found that it had been of very great benefit to the country by their manner of instruction. The attend question was one of much greater extent and import dfiett, It wet to be remembered that the Report on the table of the Home wee made by the Commissioners in consequence of the instructions given them under the Bill. He (the Mar euis of Lansdowne) agreed isith the Noble Earl that the amount prOposed to be expended in the Report was too large to be granted, except after the most minute examination and at tention to tile matter in all its branches. It was to be remem bered, however, that it was not yet taken into eon:side ration--( Hear, hear)—that the matter had not yet been brought before Parliament—but that it was laid before there, because such information was always convenient to be iii possession of the Parliament. He was not prepared to say that any Intel - Ilion had been formed by the Government of proposing to Parliament any scale of expenditue— equal to that recommended in the Report: but he had no hesitation in saying for himself, that he trusted that in some shape or another funds will be raised at no distant period for carrying into effect the extended benehts of education under the same system. He was convinced that it was doing no moue than educating and civilizing, and thereby reconciling, that portion of the King's dominions, The Noble Earl had said that he did not know any benefits which had flowed from the new system. Was the Noble Earl aware that under even the presented limited scheme there were 203,000 children receiving education under the plan which was recommended by the Com missioners of 1812, signed by most of the Prelates of that day. At page 65 of the report it would be found that the Commis sioners had stated selections might be made in which most im portant parts of sacred history would be included, together with all the precepts of morality and instructive examples, by which those precepts were illustrated and enforced, and which should not be subject to the objections which had been made to the use of the of the Scriptures. They stated further, that such a volume of extracts of the sacred writings, would, in their o pinions, form the best preparation for that more particlular 'religious instruction which it would be the duty, and they doubted not, the inclination of also the several minis ters of religion, to give at prOper times and in proper places to the children of their respective districts. To this report was subscribed the names of William Armagh, Charles Cashel, and other eminent Prelates. He could not believe that the attempt to Carry into effect the principle recom mended by such high authorities would be attended with other than beneficial results. No person could now travel in Ireland without seeing the great reform it had worked in the moral and religious liberty of the people. The system was placed an intelligible shape, and provided for sin a manner which ensured to that remote and miserable population the blessings ' of that species of education which all those learned Prelates, vla,hgool,eppooipnuteldatioountoarslrtelliaantdw:hicAbitmboigughht iblee wasC I n i o 2i t cca p rb r i c le p Gt a yo re eta i e t s o go the length of adopting the s y st em of the to the extent to which it m i g h t be carried, yet he would state to the House, and the country, that he was prepared to give still further effect to that which he considered was the greatest of all possible blessings.—( Cheers.) He was sorry he was able to give the Noble Earl opposite more full or authentic information. A NOBLE LORD said that he .could only speak locally as to this system being approved of; and in the place with which lie was acquainted, he knew that the Protestant clergymen were greatly satisfied with it. The Bishop of EXETER rose, and was left speaking . PROTEST AGAINST THE NEW POOR LAWs.— On Thursday night, the 2d instant, a numerous meeting was held at Lewes, on the subject of t h e Poor Law Amendment 13111, which certain clauseshicllcndeint of that Act.headoptiono a petitio n t o Parliament against The petitioners object, a mong other parts, to certain, parts of the bast ar d y c l ause s, and to the separation of men from their wives and families.

Ile moved that the petitiott we referred to the De'rhy List. Sir J. WROTTE 3LE Y moved as an amendment that if; he referred to the list foe Leicestershire, on the ground that the proposed railway would go further through Leicester- than Derby, and of course would more affect the p r operty I t that county. He had given notice of a motion to that etre% with respect to all railway bills. Ile did not wish the lious to fari put to the trouble of dividing twice.

Member and the House, whether t or was a fair principle for the appointment of Select Commit te ,o Mr. E WART disclaimed any party motives in the seleaitio he had made, and stated that he was solely influenced by competency of the persons he had named. Sir H. HARDINGE explained. He had not o bjeCte j particularly to the present Committee, but what he c° 111 ,„ plained of was the great disparity between th e num ber " Members selected from that and the other sid e o f t h e 1005,14' as he was not aware that the other sid e en j oye d any monoP° of scientific knowledge.
